Mike Stemmle Talks Career, Sam and Max 2 06 Nov, 2002 / Comments: 8

By DJG


Disappointed that Mojo failed to notice, Marek points out that the LEC 20th Anniversary Site has published an interview with long time employee Mike Stemmle. You probably know Mike best as the co-designer of Sam and Max Hit the Road and Escape From Monkey Island.

He's currently working as director and designer on a new Sam and Max game, whose working title appears to be The As Yet Untitled Sam & Max? Funtime Extravaganza. Here is what Mike has to say about all that:
I'm working with Steve Purcell on the design for the all-new, butt-kickin' Sam and Max adventure game, which is poised to pounce like a caffeinated panther onto the crippled wildebeest of the gaming market in early 2004. Even as I type, our little corner of the building is abuzz with the scribbling of concept artists, the clickety-clacking of engine builders, the furrowed brows of mini-game designers, and the manly giggles of plot developers. It's a lot of fun.
Ah to be a fly on the wall in that building, eh? Click here for the full interview.

    So Steve Purcell is not involved. Oh wait, he is, I said so in the last post.

    Actually, I think the Mike Stemmle interview was supposed to be released second, but he was too busy or something. I somehow recall that being mentioned somewhere (so I could be wrong).
